The theme is titled, Ice Cream Syndrome (アイスクリーム シンドローム) and director requested that the song be a "medium tempo love song".

I don't watch FMA, so instead they're well-known to me for singing "Zenryoku Shounen", the first level of "Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii" (the second Japanese "Elite Beat Agents" game). =P

I hope it's a good song! You can't go wrong with a song about ice cream, right?

Obviously after having Sarah Brightman for Movie 10's theme song, any singer/group after her is going to be underwhelming. The FMA Brotherhood song is decent so there is hope for this song to be better than last years song by Shoko Nakagawa. I wish they didn't use the Movie version of her song and had used the album version of the song which was a lot better. In any case, it won't take too much to have a better theme song than last years movie.

Hahan! I'm expecting this song to be better than last year's. I'm not really interested in Sukima Switch... but I have a feeling that it'll be better, since Ice Cream is beast! :D
